The ingredients for Mo's Lime Sherbet are:

3/4 cup fresh lime juice
juice from one lemon
1/2 cup chilled water
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
zest (green part only) from 2 limes
1 1/2 cups half and half
green food coloring (optional)

Here is how you make Mo's Lime Sherbet:

Juice one lemon and enough limes to make one cup of juice. Add 1/2 cup of chilled water to the juice. Keep cold.Pulse the sugar and lime zest together several times in the food processor until the zest is broken into tiny pieces and incorporated into the sugar. Add the half and half and pulse until the sugar is well incorporated.Combine the juice mixture and the half and half mixture gently. Stir in a drop of two of green food coloring if you like. Process in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions. I use a Cuisinart ice cream maker, and it takes approximately 25-30 minutes to process the mixture.The sherbet will be "soft serve" at this point. You can serve it immediately, or transfer it to a chilled container and freeze to harden before serving (it actually tastes better after it has "ripened" in the freezer for a few hours). I like to garnish a scoop with a thin slice of lime and a sprig of fresh basil.Serving Size: makes about 8 servingsNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MOMILLER11.
